Beautifully written! Draco allowing himself to feel vulnerable, Harry's loving patience - very believable and, as you've written it, absolutely breathtaking. :)

Thank you so much! I really wanted to explore the emotions behind their completely different feelings about touch, and I am so pleased that came across for you!

I keep re-reading this story. It touches me so deeply. Your Draco here breaks my heart, and yet the story puts it together at the same time. And re-reading the story, I am seeing, too, the fascinating stylistic things you've done with the writing - the switching of tenses, the powerful one-sentence lines that make whole scenes. This is truly awesome, Lovely! ♥

Thank you very very much. I am so pleased you liked it - and not just that it still feels like your story, but how I tried to express it. One of the reasons I was so drawn to this ficlet was because I thought a response could be written that played with tense and style and somehow tries to mimic Draco's shifts as he decides to break down the Walls his upbringing has made for him.

I cannot tell you how pleased I am you like it.

How lovely!

“Show me how to make love with you.”

This is one of the sexiest things ever.

Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you so much!! I am so pleased that line worked for you - I played around with it so much, because I wanted Draco to say it, to understand that with Harry it is not a euphemism for fucking but a different experience entirely, but I kept fiddling to try and make the cadence of it right for him... Tl:dr it's one of my favourite lines and I love that you've picked it out as sexy!
